The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

1977

In the Hundred Acre Wood, a bear of very little brain goes looking for honey, gets stuck in Rabbit's front door, rides out a blustery day and a flood, and meets a very bouncy tiger, all from the pages of A. A. Milne's stories.

The default: films the whole family can watch together; any scary or intense moments for the littlest viewers are flagged in the Context Notes.

Why it’s here

A. A. Milne's gentle stories brought to life with warmth and humor: friendship, kindness, and imagination at the gentlest pace a young child could ask for.

Context notes

For parents, before you press play.

The "Heffalumps and Woozles" dream may briefly spook very young children; nothing else of note.

Discussion questions

When the credits end, go around the room. Each person gives the film a score out of ten and says why.

  1. Which friend in the Hundred Acre Wood would you most want to visit?
  2. Why did Rabbit get frustrated with Tigger? Was he right?
  3. What happened when Pooh got stuck in Rabbit's door?
  4. What did Christopher Robin mean to all of them?

Content advisory

Common Sense Media 3+: very mild peril (bees, a blustery day, a flood); nothing else flagged.
